- Measured Plane

- Measured Circle

- Measured Sphere

- Measured Torus

- Measured Cone

- Measured Cylinder

- Measured Square Slot

These features are described in detail in the "Understanding the Command Format" topic.

The following major topics are covered in this chapter.

You can also use insert measured features into your measurement routine by using the Quick Start toolbar. For information, see the "Quick Start: Measure Toolbar" topic in the "Using Toolbars" chapter.
